Hmm. I was thinking about this, and I just though maybe, I could use system(), use POSIX: setsid with the children to get them to separate (and set their STDIN and STDOUT to /dev/null, etc.), and have the system() call finish off that way. I think that would work. Naturally I think of it a minute after I press submit...

When putting a smiley right before a closing parenthesis, do you:

Use two parentheses: (Like this: :) )
Use one parenthesis: (Like this: :)
Reverse direction of the smiley: (Like this: (: )
Use angle/square brackets instead of parentheses
Use C-style commenting to set the smiley off from the closing parenthesis
Make the smiley a dunce: (:>
I disapprove of emoticons
